Pediatric Rotavirus A Infection Among 337,019 Participants Within Asia: A Pan-Asian Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review in Journal of tropical medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Rotavirus A remains a leading cause of acute gastroenteritis in children under 5 years of age across Asia, despite expanding vaccination programs. This study systematically synthesizes available evidence on rotavirus A detection among pediatric populations in Asian countries. Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies reporting laboratory-confirmed rotavirus A infection among children aged ≤ 5 years in Asia. A total of 111 studies comprising 337,019 tested children were included. Random-effects meta-analysis was used to estimate pooled proportions of rotavirus A positivity among tested children. Between-study heterogeneity was assessed using the Results: The pooled proportion of rotavirus A-positive cases among tested children in Asia was 24.7% (95% CI: 22.4%-27.1%). Substantial heterogeneity was observed across studies ( Conclusion: Approximately one-quarter of children tested for rotavirus A across Asia were laboratory-positive, although estimates varied markedly across settings and thus stress the need for a routine vaccination program.
